DIR. Willim Fl. Emerson. Professor at the
Citadel, and Miss Lily Cherry were married
at the Presbyterian church at Tunnel Hill
on Sept. 13. This marriage is the result
of romantic attachment, which has ex-
listed since the young couple were little
playmates in childhood. They are now at
Tallulah Falls, Ga, but will arrive in the
city in few days and take up their resi-
dence at the Citadel.
On July IS Postmaster Mowry suspended
the midday delivery OF mails in view of the
fact that the carrier force had been all but
thoroughly disabled by the excessive heat
from attending to their duties Five of the
carriers, in fact, had suffered severely, and
it was feared that general i'll results would
follow if the full schedule of delivery was
carried out. Postmaster Mowry took the
matter into consideration, relieved the force
of the delivery at midday, the work of
which at the time mentioned was almost
beyond human endurance. The schedule
was, however, resumed on Sept. /. Since
this latter date the carriers determined, in
whatever degree they could best, to requite
the kindness of their chief, and gave ex-
preston 10 their feelings in the matter
Tuesday. The carriers called upon him
then in n body and, after expressing their
thanks for his kind care of them, presented
him set of complimentary resolutions,
passed by them at a meeting recently held,
handsomely framed. The postmaster re-
sponded in very fitting terms and returned
| thanks for their kind words.
